what are the basic principles of land tenure in the philippines?
Land tenure in the Philippines is governed by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) of 1988, which aims to redistribute and reform the ownership of agricultural lands and to promote food security and rural development. Under CARL, landowners are required to register their lands . The law also provides for the protection of tenant rights and the promotion of rural development. The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) is responsible for implementing the law and for providing assistance to land reform beneficiaries.
